Research Interests

My research is broadly focused on forest biometrics and the use of FIA data to address the specific needs of stakeholders at the local, county, state, and national levels. I also have an interest in wildfire and fire ecology.

When I'm not in the woods, I'm...

running, hiking, biking, and fishing. I love to spend time with my family back home in Nebraska and Wyoming. I am also a die-hard college football fan.
